| First let us (and by us, I mean everyone at Triple Tree and all the other pilots and spectators that come to the Joe Nall) thank you for making plans to visit us this year. That statement may sound a little strange, until you been here once. The Triple Tree Aeromodelers or all great friendly people that live Triple Tree's motto "Fun, Fellowship, and Hospitality" and all the pilots and spectators that visit each year follow suite. It seems like everyone goes out of their way to be friendly and helpful. It doesn't matter what city, town, country, you come from, if you are the Greatest Pilot in the world or if this is your first time looking in to the world of RC. You will see that this is not just a flat field with a lot of people flying. It's like a huge Family Reunion. (on your side of the family of course) So, Don't worry about coming here and nobody talking to you or feeling left out, just jump in and HOLD ON!!!! Thanks Again! | |||

Wristbands at The Nall!  This year for your safety and security we are going to require everyone at the Nall to wear a wristband. A different color wristband will be given for each day. If you are wearing the wrong colored wristband or not wearing a wristband you will be asked to show your AMA Card and required to purchase another wristband or leave. We know over the years people have been coming in after the gate closes and feel that this may give someone that doesn't respect your Equipment and/or Triple Tree a opportunity to cause us all a lot of grief. So bare with us and understand if someone stops you if you don't have a wristband on. We are doing this for you! Thanks!
